All-Stars Racing general factoids
All-Stars Racing achievement/trophy/challenge names
Nearly all of the achievements' names refer to something Sega-related,
going down to the most obscure references.
- Achievements named for Sega games:
- Achievements named after something within other Sega games:
- Achievements named after Sega music:
- Magical Sound Shower (Music track in the classic 1986 Out Run)
- Red Out (Music track in After Burner III)
- Rolling Start (Alternate name for "The King of Speed" in Daytona USA)
- True Blue (A Sonic the Hedgehog compilation album most notable for featuring the first complete Super Smash Bros.. Brawl music track (The Angel Island remix) before Brawl's release; considering how titanic the hype for that game was, well...)
- Working Man (Shenmue forklift theme. The achievement itself requires the forklift.)
- Achievements named after miscellaneous Sega concepts:
- Dreamarena (The European Sega Dreamcast online service)
- Mega Driver (an Incredibly Lame Pun on the Sega Mega Drive, may also possibly refer to the Brazilian heavy metal band who largely do covers of Sega game music)
- Now There Are No Limits! (Sega Master System slogan)
- Road Rampage (this might be stretching it a bit but it sounds similiar to "Road Rage"; Sega sued Fox and Radical Entertainment over The Simpsons Road Rage being too similiar to Crazy Taxi.)
- Sega World (A former brand of indoor amusement parks and arcades in the UK, China and Australia)
- To Be This Good Takes AGES! (UK Mega Drive slogan)
- Welcome To The Next Level (US Genesis slogan)
- What Could Have Been:
- ToeJam & Earl could have been in the game if Sega got proper licensing with the series' developers in time. They couldn't.
- Mario was considered
for the Wii version, but Sega felt they whored the plumber too much already.
- On a similar note, Sony were approached about Ratchet & Clank making an appearance in the same vein as Banjo & Kazooie, but Sony refused to loan their characters out as they had their own kart racer coming out a few months afterwards. Reportedly, Sony did change their minds on the matter, but it was too late in production to add them to the game.
- Also on the list in the above link: Vyse.
- Also considered, Nei.
- Gilius Thunderhead was playable in the prototype version of the game, but was axed from the final version. He and Vyse are set to appear in the sequel however.
- Segata Sanshiro was seriously considered for this game.
- Depending on sales, Downloadable Content could have made these possibilities a reality, but the developer has since revealed that Sega only contracted them to create Metal Sonic, so nothing further will come out.
